While I was eating my dinner last night, I overheard the news from the adjacent room. The room is about how the Filipino middle class people discuss the current situation of the country. The news anchor even emphasized that the silent middle class finally has time to discuss things, especially political issues. And according to them, the means of communication is blogging. There are lot of reasons why blogging has been chosen and the first among those is: it’s open not only to Filipinos inside the Philippines but also to Filipinos outside the country, and also to other nationalities. The world of information and technology is vast and so are the audiences that can partake in the discussion.
When I heard this, I felt scared and I realized that my entries are read not only by my visitors and “commentors”, because my entries can be read by everyone. It may sound a bit foolish, but when I started blogging, I never realized those things. I never thought that I’ll be sharing the glints and the hints of my life to the whole world. But it doesn’t matter, blogging is one of things that I enjoy so no matter how many regrets that I’ve had upon hearing the aforementioned news, I won’t stop blogging and no one can stop me from doing it.

may mga advantages at disadvantages din naman ang blogging =) naisip ko rin yan noon eh, na hindi lang kayo yung nakakabasa ng blog ko. pede malaman ng mga tao sa buong mundo ang buhay mo. parang public talaga eh, pero di ba limited lang naman ang pagbblog natin =)
pero kahit ako i won’t stop blogging talaga =) *apir

Hey! Well I completely understand what your saying sometimes I can feel like people can find me by just reading my blogs and website but then I brush it off because it’s fun to do. God I wish I could have been half as intellegent as you when I was 17 lols take care hun.
March 7th, 2008 at 4:30 pm

naku..ako di ko pinagsisihan na pasukin ang blogging wala akong pake kung mabasa nila ung entries ko, eh un ako diba? Pake nila hehe… ako since 2002 na akong nagbloblog….pero wala parin sawa..maganda kasi magblog dun natin nalalabas ung nasa loob natin…
tsaka ung mga media ek ek na yan, dun din sila nakakakuha ng idea sa mga bloggers ung mga opinions kaya dapat thankful rin sila dahil sa atin..nagdadagdag tayo ng information sa net .

I know naman from the start na maraming madlang people ang pwede makabasa ng blog ko pero nag-iingat pa rin ako. Iniingatan kong di mabasa ng kung sino mang taga-school ko or kamag-anak ko yung blog ko. Ang awkward kasi nung feeling kapag nababasa nila eh. Ewan.
Pero katulad mo, blogging has been sort of a necessity na rin sa buhay ko. Dito ko lang kasi nasspill out yung thoughts ko kasi wala akong diary talaga. Loser ako eh. haha.
) Ayun.

I’ve learned my lesson na about blogging sis. My bf found out about my blog a few weeks ago, just then I realized thank God I did not write anything too personal, or else he would’ve found out. hehe.
Anyway, we’re not blogging about things too controversial. Just about a few life’s opinion and stuffs lang naman so I guess there’s nothing wrong with that.
March 7th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
Yeah… well, internet is world wide unfortunately, but you take certain identities online and certain measures to protect yourself. It’s not too bad of a thing if many people come to your blog and read it, if anyone wants, they can google it and would be able to locate your site

The thought of knowing that anyone, from any part of the world can access your blog is a bit scary. At first I never thought about it either. When I’m blogging I tend to keep my private and most personal insights of my life to myself or I either blog on my Livejournal where it’s private.

March 8th, 2008 at 5:32 am

Well, it is scary that the whole world can read your blog, but I guess it should be expected. After all, WWW stands for World Wide Web and there is a WWW in front of every web address…
I think the WWW is most comment in United States since, well, that’s where technology lies. Which is pretty cool, I think, to be in a room and to be able to communicate to the rest of the world.

I also heard that from the news. Even so, don’t let anyone or anything stop you from blogging! You just have to be careful on what you write.
